Improvements to the Royal Naval Dockyard continue ahead of the America’s Cup with more than $10 million invested into the historic site over two years.

Projects include renovations to the Glassworks building, work on the Sail Loft, the Spar Lane apartments and Prince Alfred Terrace, according to the West End Development Corporation.

“This last year and for the coming year, Wedco will have spent $10 million on improving buildings,” chairman Ray Charlton said.

“It has been a busy year and it is about to get even busier.”

Mr Charlton was speaking at the sixth annual preseason breakfast held at Bone Fish Bar & Grill, in Dockyard, this month.

Wedco general manager Andrew Dias added that a $900,000 renovation of the Glassworks building would soon be completed and that work on Cross Island was on schedule, with piling in its final phase.

The area should be completely finished by the end of June.

“We have stayed on deadline and on budget,” he added.

According to Wedco, improvements on the Sail Loft cost $500,000, while the Spar Lane Apartments has seen a $300,000 investment. Meanwhile, Prince Alfred Terrace will have benefited from $3.5 million, the hangar building on Boaz Island from $300,000, North Basin building 4 from $1 million, Detached Cottage 7 from $300,000 and Moresby Plains Road will have seen a $200,000 investment.

Mr Dias added: “Wedco’s mandate is to look after and improve the beautiful and historic buildings in the Royal Naval Dockyard and these projects, including the infill at Cross Island, have been in the pipeline for several years and I am delighted that people can now see the benefits of all our work.”

Mr Dias said that by the end of 2016, Wedco will have reached a milestone in that every historic building inside the North Basin will be wind and waterproof, apart from the Victualling Yard and associated buildings.
